KMO_SCI_RED(7)

NAME¶

kmo_sci_red - Reconstruct obj/sky-pairs individually and combine them afterwards

SYNOPSIS¶

esorex kmo_sci_red [OPTIONS] FILE.sof

DESCRIPTION¶

Ideally at least two data frames have to be provided since we need for each IFU pointing to an object as well a sky frame for the same IFU.

If an OH spectrum is given in the SOF file the lambda axis will be corrected using the OH lines as reference.

Every IFU containing an object will be reconstructed and divided by telluric and illumination correction. By default these intermediate cubes are saved to disk. Frames just containing skies won’t produce an output here, so the number of output frames can be smaller than the number of input frames.

Then the reconstructed objects with the same object name are combined. These outputs are also saved to disk, the number of created files depends on the number of reconstructed objects of different name. If the user just wants to combine a certain object, the parameters --name or --ifus can be used.

For exposures taken with the templates KMOS_spec_obs_mapping8 and KMOS_spec_obs_mapping24 the recipe behaves a bit different: All active IFUs will be combined, regardless of the object names.

BASIC PARAMETERS¶

--imethod The interpolation method used for reconstruction.

--smethod The interpolation method used for shifting.

--name --ifus Since an object can be present only once per exposure and since it can be located in different IFUs for the existing exposures, there are two modes to identify the objects:
* Combine by object names (default)
In this case the object name must be provided via the --name parameter.

The object name will be searched for in all primary headers of all
provided frames in the keyword ESO OCS ARMx NAME.

* Combine by index (advanced)
In this case the --ifus parameter must be provided. The parameter must
have the same number of entries as frames are provided, e.g. "3;1;24"
for 3 exposures. The index doesn´t reference the extension in the frame
but the real index of the IFU as defined in the EXTNAME keyword.

(e.g. ´IFU.3.DATA´)

ADVANCED PARAMETERS¶

--flux Specify if flux conservation should be applied.

--background Specify if background removal should be applied.

--suppress_extension If set to TRUE, the arbitrary filename extensions are supressed. If multiple products with the same category are produced, they will be numered consecutively starting from 0.

--sky_tweak If set to TRUE sky substraction is not done by subtracting the corresponding detector images but subtracting a modified sky cube from the object cube.

It is not allowed that "--sky_tweak" and "--no_subtract" both are TRUE.

--tbsub If set to TRUE subtract the thermal background from the cube resulting from sky tweaking.

Default value is TRUE.

--obj_sky_table The automatic obj-sky-associations can be modified by indicating a file with the desired associations. Therefore the file written to disk by default (without setting this option) can be edited manually. The formatting must absolutely be retained, just the type codes (´O´ and´S´) and the associated frame indices should be altered

Advanced reconstruction parameters
---------------------------------- --neighborhoodRange Defines the range to search for neighbors during reconstruction

--b_samples The number of samples in spectral direction for the reconstructed cube.

Ideally this number should be greater than 2048, the detector size.

--b_start --b_end Used to define manually the start and end wavelength for the reconstructed cube. By default the internally defined values are used.

--fast_mode If set to TRUE, the reconstructed cubes will be collapsed (using median) and only then be shifted and combined.

--pix_scale Change the pixel scale [arcsec]. Default of 0.2" results into cubes of 14x14pix, a scale of 0.1" results into cubes of 28x28pix, etc.

--no_subtract If set to TRUE, the found objects and references won´t be sky subtracted. Additionally all IFUs will be reconstructed, even the ones containing skies.

This option sets the parameter no_combine to TRUE automatically.

--xcal_interpolation If true interpolate the pixel position in the slitlet (xcal) using the two closest rotator angles in the calibration file. Otherwise take the values of the closest rotator angle

--extrapolate By default no extrapolation is applied. This means that the intermediate reconstructed cubes will shrink at most one pixel, which is ok for templates like KMOS_spec_obs_nodtosky or KMOS_spec_obs_freedither. When the cubes will be arranged as a map, a grid is likely to occur between the IFUs. Therefore extrapolation during the shifting process can be switched on in order to get IFUs of original size. For frames taken with mapping templates, extrapolation is switched on automatically.

--velocity_offset Specifies the velocity offset correction in km/s for lambda scale.

Default is 0.0 km/s, i.e. no velocity correction.

--save_interims If set to TRUE the interim object and sky cubes used for sky tweaking are saved to FITS file in the same format as SCI_RECONSTRUCTED Default is FALSE.

Advanced combining parameters
---------------------------------- --edge_nan Set borders of two sides of the cubes to NaN before combining them. This minimises unwanted border effects when dithering.

--no_combine If set to TRUE, the reconstructed cubes will not be combined.

--method There are following sources to get the shift parameters from:
* ´header´ (default)
The shifts are calculated according to the WCS information stored in the
header of every IFU. The output frame will get larger, except the object
is at the exact same position for all exposures. The size of the
exposures can differ, but the orientation must be the same for all
exposures.

* ´none´
The cubes are directly recombined, not shifting at all. The output frame
will have the same dimensions as the input cubes.

If the size differs a warning will be emitted and the cubes will be
aligned to the lower left corner. If the orientation differs a warning
will be emitted, but the cubes are combined anyway.

* ´center´
The shifts are calculated using a centering algorithm. The cube will be
collapsed and a 2D profile will be fitted to it to identify the centre.

With the parameter --fmethod the function to fit can be provided. The
size of the exposures can differ, but the orientation must be the same
for all exposures.

* ´user´
Read the shifts from a user specified file. The path of the file must be
provided using the --filename parameter. For every exposure (except the
first one) two shift values are expected per line, they have to be
separated with simple spaces. The values indicate pixel shifts and are
referenced to the first frame. The 1st value is the shift in x-direction
to the left, the 2nd the shift in y-direction upwards. The size of the
exposures can differ, but the orientation must be the same for all
exposures.

--fmethod see --method=´center´ The type of function that should be fitted spatially to the collapsed image.

This fit is used to create a mask to extract the spectrum of the object.

Valid values are ´gauss´ and ´moffat´.

--filename see --method=´user´

--cmethod Following methods of frame combination are available:
* ´ksigma´ (Default)
An iterative sigma clipping. For each position all pixels in the spectrum
are examined. If they deviate significantly, they will be rejected
according to the conditions:
val > mean + stdev * cpos_rej
and
val < mean - stdev * cneg_rej
where --cpos_rej, --cneg_rej and --citer are the corresponding
configuration parameters. In the first iteration median and percentile
level are used.

* ´median´
At each pixel position the median is calculated.

* ´average´
At each pixel position the average is calculated.

* ´sum´
At each pixel position the sum is calculated.

* ´min_max´
The specified number of minimum and maximum pixel values will be
rejected.

--cmax and --cmin apply to this method.

--cpos_rej --cneg_rej --citer see --cmethod=´ksigma´

--cmax --cmin see --cmethod=´min_max´
